Building and Manufacturing Hardware
Congratulations on making it to the final chapter of this book. The previous two chapters focused on considerations for when your hardware or IoT start-up scales and you have to manage many customers. This chapter will focus on what you need to consider when you want to move from breadboard-based designs to prototypes that can be deployed in the real world, and considerations for getting your final hardware product certified.
By the end of this chapter, you will have learned about building hardware from prototypes, getting them manufactured, and the need for certification.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Designing more compact hardware
- Designing printed circuit boards
- Manufacturing hardware
- Understanding the need for certification
